  • How difficult is the installation of Apex Engineered S130 (280ZX) Steering Knuckles?
    ⮝⮟

    Installing Apex Engineered S130 (280ZX) Steering Knuckles is a straightforward process for enthusiasts familiar with the S130 suspension layout. These knuckles are precision-machined to 0.005" tolerances to ensure they bolt up correctly to your 280ZX, though a professional alignment is highly recommended after installation to optimize the new steering response.

  • Are the Apex Engineered S130 280ZX Steering Knuckles made from aluminum or steel?
    ⮝⮟

    The Apex Engineered S130 280ZX Steering Knuckles are manufactured from high-quality steel. Apex Engineered chooses steel for this specific application because steering knuckles are a critical suspension component that must withstand extreme stress and abuse. By using steel, we ensure maximum durability and prevent metal fatigue or failure, providing you with a reliable steering solution for your 280ZX.

  • Are the Apex Engineered Steering Knuckles S130 280ZX suitable for drifting?
    ⮝⮟

    Yes! The Apex Engineered Steering Knuckles S130 280ZX are designed for high-performance driving and are perfect for drifting. These knuckles feature two sets of mounting holes that allow you to adjust your steering ratio: one setting for 10% quicker steering and another for 30% quicker steering. The 30% quicker ratio provides significantly more wheel angle, giving your Z the steering geometry it needs to perform like a true drift missile.

  • Should I get Apex Engineered S130 (280ZX) Steering Knuckles or a full S130 suspension kit first?
    ⮝⮟

    Apex Engineered S130 (280ZX) Steering Knuckles serve as an essential component of a complete handling overhaul, pairing perfectly with our Front and Rear Suspension Kits. While the knuckles focus on steering quickness and response, combining them with our full S130 (280ZX) suspension upgrades provides the ultimate level of adjustability and cornering performance for your Datsun.
